“No drama, no games” is such a popular instruction on online dating profiles that I even see it in the headlines. Does anyone really think that’ll work?
Imagine an ad saying, “no cyclists” or “no cooks” or “no bichon frise owners”. I bet every cyclist, cook and little dog owner would read it. By putting “no drama, no games” in your profile, you’re attracting the very people you want to avoid. Lindsay Lohan herself might drunk dial you.
Besides, do you know what that headline says about you? It says you feel like the victim of such people rather than the person responsible for letting them into your life. You made those choices.
More importantly, if you let that type in, it’s probaby because they serve purpose. Maybe they add excitement to your life. Maybe they keep you distracted by their issues so that you don’t have to look at your own. Maybe their failings make you feel good about yourself.
Whatever the reasons, if you really don’t want drama and games then you need to figure out and correct your motivation(s) for letting toxic people into your life.
